Task#1

     This is my third time starting Pi2.0.  I am hopeful that this time I can get more excited about it and actually find something that I really want to use in the classroom.  We shall see.  
     I watched Frontline the other night on television.  It was talking about whether technology is helping or hindering people, especially our youth.  It gave some good arguments for both sides.  I feel the same way.  At times, I think it is just the boost that our educational system needs. On the other hand, I see what many of our youth are like when they "graduate" from high school.  Many kids can look up all the facts that they need but how many actually have the patience to sit down try to figure out how a math/chem problem is worked by looking at the answer and working backwards?
